An inability to attract a competent ruck that Bev would play is a possible black mark on Power. However supply of rucks that Bev would play may be extremely imited. My query is the recontracting of Sweet and whether Bev will play him. If Bev won't play him why did we sign him? Suck and see I...

Pinch hitting in the ruck eh?:think:

Reckon it's as simple as we aren't picking up a ruck Bev won't pick. That rules out 90% of rucks. Be interesting what happens with Sweet. Not sure why we retained him if Bev isn't going to pick him ahead of a spud like Young. Personally I liked Sweets centre square work. I do wonder if Bev...

Agree 100%. Messaging is awful. I doubt Mitchell will be much as a coach.

Interesting. My recollection is that McPharlin demanded a trade home and wasnt really planned. Nathan Thompson and Hay were both 26 and traded out for high picks after Clarkson started. Thompson ended up getting them Lewis. Croad was more culture than age trade IIRC. I doubt hAwks are going...

The last Hawks Dynasty was built when they used the same scorched earth policy. Traded Hay, Croad, etc. They got Hodge and Mitchell IIRC

Clurey is shorter than Zaine isn't he?

Can recall multiple times when Lipinski did not commit to contesting aerially and flinched. Combine with his one hand out run past tackles it shows a clear unwillingness to commit his body to contests. I know I would not either. But then I haven't got my hand out asking for an AFL contract and...

Yep sounds about right any fuss is a storyless media fapping about nothing and a few BF Dodoro wannabes.

With our list being so strong. No news is good news

By a factor of five

SOS and Rendell both thought it would be good for Marra to play back next yr. Might be good for the team too?

Genuinely surprised Paddy has generated so much discussion. Only argument would be how much we give back for a future Pies 3rd or 4th Rd pick One of the softer players I've seen in the AFL.

I'd say don't let the door hit you on the way out. But no need to tell Paddy to avoid contact. Wish him all the best.

Wouldn't be BF if we didn't have the annual trade Macrae comment. As Jack piles on another AA, a record possession count and improved disposal - the comment just gets more f'ing ridiculous. First we get guy the wanting to discuss Sam Lloyd's future and then the guy wanting to discuss trading...

Be interesting what happens. I'd have English maybe 10-20 and that's it. Maybe thats over valuing him

Am more than confident in S Power. Would be shitting myself if JMac was in charge. Dunkley and English are both in the same spot with a yr left. If there is a good ready made ruck available, they can go if they don't want to be here.

Just for next yr, I just don't see that Tim is that much better than Lobb. Just IMO.

How can you blame a bloke for wanting to see his family AND his girlfriend? COVID has made it impossible to travel see loved ones. I'm not begrudging a bloke for wanting home in that environment.

What's more ludricous trading Tim for something or letting him walk for nothing next yr when his contract expires? Only applies if Tim wants out.

Look I'm just putting some sauce on a s**t sandwich. If Tim wants out I'd rather Lobb on a reduced contract than a 4th rd. Or potentially nothing.

Nah if English says he wants home in WA. Who outside WA is going to take him?

If Tim wants to go and his contract runs out next yr we'll be lucky to get much for him - see Lipinski

Its interesting I'd say Lobb is a better tap ruck than Tim and a better mark. Not as good a kick or ground ball player obviously. Just seems a natural trade if both players want out as is being whispered

Media says Lobb will take a pay cut. On the other stuff is he better than English?

If English does want out what are people's thought on Rory Lobb? 3rd most contested marks in league in 2020. Not a horrible ruck. Less mobile than English. Could Lobb be full time decent ruck? Gotta say after the GF Lobb looks an upgrade on Tim in ruck contests

The whole draft, PSD and trading system should be revamped IMO. PSD/FREE agency pool compensation is abolished. Teams getting FA pay a points cost based on salary and nothing else. Say 2pts per $1k per yr. All players should be offered a 30-50% contract loading (out of the cap) if they sign a...

Way to busy looking for a few blokes In red white and blue jumpers. Duryea is our most underrated player. Mr Reliable with high does of courage and ice in his veins (not the type to advertise it though).

We could ask for p6. Wed be told to piss off. More likely they offer Lobb. We'd want more but wouldn't get much

Our list is good shape. Teach Bailey Smith how to defend in the off season. He is the guy with physical attributes to stop Petracca. Get competent ruck who Bev will pick. Still not averse to a monster trade for Grundy.
